p RACTICAL CHRISTIANITY Published yob the Special Ben efit or Nos-Chukobgoebs.

True Christi, n Religion, intelligent?? under etood, comes not to add to men’s bunlens, hut to remove them. “ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn tne world, but. thn< the world through. Him might be saved.” John iii, 17.

Its eading doctrines, adapted to I he use of his Now Age, are summarised as fob ows : - There is one God, in whom is a Divine Trinity of Love, Wisdom and Operation, and he is the Lord Jesus Christ. Saying Faith is to believe in Him . Evils are to be shunned, because t hey are of the devil and from the devil.

Good Works ought, to be done, toeeanse they are nF God and from God, and they ought to be done by man as of himself, but with the belief that they are from the Lord.

operating in him by him. There are two things which constitute the essence of God—love and wisdom. And there are three which constitute the essence; of His love—to love others out of Himself r t.o desire to be one with them: and to mn'ke them happy from Himself. The same t hree con stitute the essence of His wisdom ; because eve and wisdom in God make one, and love wills these things, and wisdom accc mplishes them. (True Christian Religion, No . 43.) The Word of God is Divine truth clothed in human language, and adapted' to tlae vari'd states of the human heart, that thus a man may know God, and learn to know and do His will. “If ye continue in 'fly word, then are ye my disciples indeed.” John viii, 31 “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men’should do unto yo’.i, do ye even so unto them ; for this is the law and the prophets.” Matt, vii., 8.

The Ten Ccmmandmentn point out what evils are to be shunned in or der that men may attain eternal life.

*' That, it is not so difficult to live the life of heaven as is commonly bslieved, is evident from this—that when anything presents itself that one knows to be insinosre and unjust, to which his mind is disposed, he need only think that it ought not to be d one because it is Contrary to the Divine comi nands. If a man accustoms himself so to think, and from custom derives the habit, ho is then by degrees conjoined to heaven, and into far as he is con joined to heaven, the bight >r degrees of hie mind are opened ; and in so far as these are opened he sees what is insincere and unjust; and in so far as he seen thee, i evils they can be shaken off, for it is itnoo ssible that any evil can be shaken off until it is seen. This is a state into which a man may enter from freedom ; for who is not capable of thinking in this manner? But when he has made n beginning al l goods are wrought in him bv the Lord, arid He causes him not only to see evils, but a'so not to will them, and finally to become av erse of them. This is meant bv the Lord’s words, "My voke is easy and My burden li qht,” Ma't. xi. 30' But it should be known tl >at ths difficulty of so t hinking, and likewise of resisting evils, increase in propnr; tion av a man from the will commits evils; or in. so far he becomes accustomed to them, until at length he does not see them, and after, arda loves them, and from the delight of lo'.e excuses them, and bv al! kinds of fallacies confirms them, and dec ares that they are allowable and good. But thia occurs with tho«e who in age of adolesence plunge into evils as if without restraint, and a’ the terne time reject Divine things frori the heart " Heaven and Hell."
